York Preparatory Academy Schools
While not particularly architecturally innovative, the architecture is conducive to providing the campus atmosphere desired for this community's educational facilities. Tilt-up offered the most economical method of constructing the multiple buildings on this 43-acre campus. From the retaining walls of the Student Union building to the long spans of the gymnasium, tilt-up provided the durability, safety, security and warmth desired. One particular outstanding engineering and construction feat was the record setting 89-foot wide panel. The panel provided challenges for Meadow Burke Engineering in the decision of lifting and rigging assemblies to successfully erect this unique tilt-up panel.

About the Tilt-Up Concrete Association
Founded in 1986, the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) strives to improve the quality and acceptance of site-cast Tilt-Up construction - one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment. Over 10,000 buildings, enclosing more than 650 million square feet, are constructed each year using this construction method.
